damn you got a lot of the craps over the years.

My order is still processing. 2 hours later.
*waiting* *loading*
I know it won't work, but one can hope for a Christmas miracle, can't one?

Have you thought of asking people to "PM me to tell me how"?

Score #4 for this guy !! only 1 any good but we will see what #4 will bring.

You know it!

While the thrill of the hunt is still exciting, and the adrenaline courses through our bodies just TRYING to get one, I have to say in all honesty that once one arrives, it's not all it's hyped up to be.. Sorry, but the good old days of woot seem to have been left at the wayside somewhere along the information superhighway.

You can pretty much rest assured that whaever is in the FIRST Bag of Coal listed in this forum in a couple of weeks will be the template for all the rest..

Hell, there haven't even been any letters lately!

In the spirit of the holiday season, I respectfully request good craps and electronics! Though thou shalt not whine about the crappiness of the crap received, I have little use for a seahorse bag, solar powered doll house, and a set of climate cubes. In all seriousness, really jazzed about winning my 2nd, really hoping it's of more use to me than the last, but i'll appreciate it any which way. Thanks Woot!!!

TPW is out of that game and has passed the torch

I kept getting a 503 error, but kept F5'ing anyway, and even got to the Buy It button not once, but twice, and it actually went through the second time.

I didn't think it was possible to get one after reloading so many times. You'd think I'd know by now how this damn thing works.

I miss the days when the birdhouse o'cardnals was more random. The timing has been pretty predictable for what seems like much too long now.

I scored my fourth! Last one was last christmas when I got a bunch of mini photo frame Christmas ornaments and leakfrogs. It's fun just trying to order them, and witnessing the sheer randomness of the Manos: The Hands Of Fate that arrives. Anyways, we'll see how well we do this time...

I tried the 3 connection thing because every other attempt I've made has failed. I've been at this for a few years now.

what is tpw???

Well, isn't it funny we can all tell there is a change?

New guy...mix it up a bit. Having all boxes so similar is just too politically correct.

We want envy, and hope, and disappointment...shock...hilarity....astonishment... disillusion... disappointment...etc.

Impress us.

It has to be difficult since they are so often, but that is what you signed up for. We all should strive to fill the shoes of the legends that come before us.

If that won't work, just send us some crap. Thinking about it, how hard can it be to send out crap...lol

Got one, and just now noticed the "tractor" message. I am terrified, yet slightly aroused. I blame that terrible country song "Do you think my tractor's sexy?".

Will post pics when it arrives, hopefully before Christmas!

Sad....then let me start off that post with the following....

Dear Woot Gods,

Give me a good Burgandy Olfactory Center for Xmas!!!

What in the crap is "Burgandy"???

i got one i hope it is as cool as last time i got a digital elector drum expensive item

Last month I missed out even though I was on my high-speed work line and got the second screen immediately. This month I get one using my cell phone.
Go figure.

Guess that's why they don't call them "Random Crap" anymore.

My first Bag of Coal. Thank you so much Woot!

How to what? F5? I know if I hit reload, it will go away. If I leave it loading, maybe the one in my cart will stay there & I'll have scored another. Number 4 for me.

That's the part concerning the miracle.

I reloaded the page a couple dozen times and hit the "buy it" button twice, and it still went through.

Of course, it's probably a little late for that now.

same here, it was a year befoe I got mine in 2009, all it takes is patience and timing

Number four this year. Not too shabby

It's my first Bindle of Carps ever, and it feels pretty great! My only worry is that I haven't quite figured out the logistics of how to Occupy Myself...

Got one. Didn't think I got through but there was my magic confirmation email.

Catch y'all when it arrives.

Woot Gods,

Today sucked. Today sucked bad. The beacon of my day was successfully nabbing a bauble of cheer.

Please be kind to me. Make it special, for me. I'm not asking for a 60" TV. I'm not asking for an iPad. I'm not even asking for a screaming monkey.

Just something to make me feel special. And failing that, peace of earth and good will towards men.

Epic.

Best. Brag. Evah.

:[ I think Woot waits to sell these until I log off to go somewhere on purpose.

My 4th Bag of Coal this year! If it's here before Christmas I plan to wrap it and put it under the tree...if I'm able to wait.

W00t! My browser said "No", you didn't get any crap. But later my e-mail said "Yes, Yes, Yes", you did score a Bag of Coal! Yay!

My strategy: Open a million tabs, and and make them all try to get through. It's worked 3 times now! I must be doing something right haha.

I'm getting better at this. Yay Burgandy Olfactory Center for me.

Yeah, it does seem that way...

my first Burgandy Olfactory Center after trying for 5 years!

Ratio of my success in getting a Burgandy Olfactory Center to trying to get a Burgandy Olfactory Center..

1:1

w00t

THis will be my 7th bag. Hope its my best!!

Lucky to get another bag today. Got one last woot off and believe it or not, it is wrapped and under the tree, exactly where this one will go when it arrives. Didn't think I could avoid the forum and Woot tracker , but I did and the suspense is delicious. Hope the precipitous fall to the inevitable realization that my bags are nothing special won't hurt me too much. Who am I kidding.... I will ALWAYS try for the elusive Belief Of Chriskringle.

Why is it that Woot never has the Burgandy Olfactory Center during a decent time for those of us who work and aren't in cushy enough jobs to have internet access?
